In the evening of that day, a banquet was held in Nanping Hou Mansion for Su Rong and Fengling.
During the dinner, Marquis Nanping said that he would pass the title to his son Ningchi at the meeting tomorrow.
Ning Chi was stunned for a moment and glanced at Mrs. Hou, Ning Yao, and Ning Ze. Her children were indeed Mrs. Hou's heart and soul. She was originally sick and couldn't afford to get up. Now that her children are back safely, her illness will be cured instantly.
Most of it.
He saw that after Marquis Nanping said this, the three marquises had no objections. It seemed that they had already discussed it. He said quietly: "My son has no intention of inheriting his father's title prematurely. Father does not have to do this."
Marquis Nanping shook his head, "In the case of the eldest prince, the prince was kind and took out the Nanping Marquis Mansion. But the Nanping Marquis Mansion surrendered to the East Palace, how could the second prince do it? What's more, there was a man who was taken into the mansion by the second prince and wanted to kill Yao.
Instead of waiting for the eldest prince to launch an attack, it is better for your father to plead guilty in front of your majesty. My father will plead with your majesty to be lenient, and at the same time, he will tell your majesty truthfully and show your merits. In this way,
, your father’s title falls on your head, and you are immune to the second prince’s calculations.”
Ning Chi paused after hearing this, "If what my father said is indeed reasonable, then let's do it this way!"
He also didn't expect that his father would give up the title above his head. You know, once this is done, he will be the real head of the family.
Su Rong was also surprised. She looked at Nanping Hou carefully and saw that he didn't seem to be cheating. He then looked at Mrs. Hou, mother and son. Although their eyes were red from crying, their expressions were calm and they had no objections to the matter.
She thought to herself that Marquis Nanping was someone who could take things up and put them down.
After all, sooner or later, the title will be passed to Ning Chi. Now he can't depose the prince if he wants. In addition, there are still potential threats that have not yet been cleared. Indeed, Yan Lin and Yan Li are eyeing them. The Nanping Marquis Mansion is not truly stable.
Worried, he could see this and happily raised the matter in front of her, just to make his words more convincing.
If what she expected was true, then he should plead for Ning Ze.
After all, Ning Ze, that fool, is said to have done a lot of things over the years, making Ning Chi's life very difficult.
Sure enough, Nanping Hou said: "Miss Su Qi and Mr. Feng personally sent your younger brothers and sisters back. They are not outsiders. There are also some words that my father will tell you here."
Marquis Nanping sighed and said: "Over the years, my father has known that I can't help you. Your brother is stupid and has caused you a lot of trouble overtly and secretly. But it is precisely because of his stupidity that he does things that are unclear. Now he can
When you come back safely, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for being generous, and I would also like to thank Miss Su Qi and Mr. Feng for protecting each other all the way. My father heard from your brother and sister that there were constant killers along the way, and three waves were directed at them.
They were all blocked by Miss Su Qi and Young Master Feng. He also knew that he was wrong. His brother, you should teach him more as the elder brother in the future. He also promised me that he would listen to you. He decided
He lost three fingers, and he suffered a lot. From now on, he will be safe and stay out of trouble. If he doesn't cause trouble for you, why don't you stop embarrassing him?"
Ning Chi smiled faintly, "My father has said so, so naturally my son will not embarrass his second brother."
Ning Ze took the opportunity to raise his hand and swear, "Brother, I promise, I will be your good brother. If I have any bad intentions again, just let me, let me... let me be helpless."
After he swore a poisonous oath, he covered his hand in distress, and will never forget the moment when his fingers were chopped off.
Ning Chi nodded, "Okay."
Marquis Nanping said again: "Yao'er said that he does not intend to keep this child to avoid future troubles. What do you think?"
Ning Chi had no objection, "Then don't keep me. All the way back to Nanping from the capital, there are constant killers and they travel thousands of miles. It's normal that I can't keep you."
Marquis Nanping nodded, "Then it's settled."
This meal was a great time for both host and guest.
Mrs. Nanping Marquis didn't talk much during the dinner, she didn't get too close to Su Rong, and she didn't treat Ning Chi too lowly or petty.
After dinner, Su Rong and Fengling returned to their residence. Fengling whispered, "Sister, Marquis Nanping is a character."
"Of course." Su Rong said: "At his age, he is still in the prime of life, and there are not many people who can be open-minded. I used to underestimate Marquis Nanping. But if it is based on his love for his step-wife and his children for so many years, although he is partial, he
If he did not depose Ning Chi as the crown prince earlier, it means that he has always understood in his heart that Ning Ze cannot support the Nanping Marquis Mansion, and only Ning Chi can inherit his title."
"Yes." Fengling nodded.
The Eighteenth Village is fifty miles away from the Nanping Marquis Mansion. That night, Ningchi's letter was delivered to Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu took the letter and read it. When he saw that Su Rong had come to Nanping and was now living in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, he could hardly stay. He wanted to rush to the Nanping Marquis Mansion to see Su Rong immediately, but he thought of the difficult things ahead of him.
, once he abandons it, he will leave, even if he leaves for a night, he may get into big trouble, so he can only hold back.
With the tip of his tongue touching his gums, he wrote a reply to Ning Ze, asking Ning Ze to help him keep Su Rong for two more days.
In two days, he should be able to handle this difficult matter without delaying Su Rong. After all, she was intercepted and killed all the way from the capital to Nanping, and she had to protect two burdens. It must be very tiring.
He really didn't expect that she would come to Nanping. Before he left, she didn't say she was coming.
That night, he stopped resting and said to Ziye: "Let's go to Thirteenth Village again. I don't believe that old guy Chen Qi doesn't care about the lives of his wife, children, children and grandchildren. If he refuses to agree, I will kill him tonight."
.”
Ziye sighed, "Young master, there is no need to rush. We definitely can't kill that old guy Chen Qi. He is very prestigious in the Eighteenth Village. If we kill him, the Eighteenth Village will not accept recruitment, let alone the Thirteenth Village."
If the village doesn't agree, no other village will agree."
Zhou Gu also knew that the reason why the Eighteen Villages remained standing as righteous bandits was because they were tied into a rope and formed into a dead group that no one could split or dismantle.
As he walked, he said irritably: "We still have to find a way. Although Chen Qi didn't agree when I came, he didn't resist strongly. Now it's only been three days, why did he suddenly refuse to agree? Who else has come recently?
To the Eighteen Villages?”
Ziye shook his head, "No one except us."
"No." Zhou Gu shook his head, "It must have been someone coming, or some letter coming, that made Chen Qi change his attitude."
Ziye was also puzzled, "After we came, we sent troops to seal off the mountain passes. It stands to reason that not a single fly can fly out."
Zhou Gu frowned and walked out quickly. His feet stepped on the ground, making a heavy friction sound, indicating that he was in a bad mood. After walking a few dozen steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Eighteen Villages, is there a secret?"
road?"
Ziye was startled, "It's possible!"
Zhou Gu immediately said: "Let's go down the mountain."
